Give your Computer the Gift of Memory this Year!




Do you need a boost on your Apple computer? Do you need better multi taking abilities? Are you tired of seeing the colorful spinning beach ball? Don't buy a new computer! Buy more RAM! It's less than what a family outing to the movies cost. 

Upgrading you computers RAM(Random Access Memory) will help you with all of the above. I took my memory on my Mac Mini from 2GB to 8GB and saw a significant improvement.  Great for listening to music,  editing photos, and uploading them to Facebook at the same time.  I paid almost $80 over a year ago. If you buy from Apple they will charge you $400 (I still like you Apple by the way). Today the price is under $40 on Amazon. That is an absolute steal! You can't beat this deal for the speed boost your Mac will receive, and for the improvement you will notice.

Please check with Apple to Make sure your computer is compatible. You must check to make sure your Mac will support DDR3 memory. Please follow the link below to find you model and make sure it supports DDR3.

(Macbook Air's will not accept this memory.)

The Best Memory Card Ever




Since I have been using the Nikon D7000 for about 8 months now, I have been using SanDisk ExtremePro memory cards.  I initially purchased the Card for its industry leading write speed (Up to 45 MB/s).  The D7000 and the SanDisk ExtremePro work great together.  If you shoot RAW files it allows you to fill the buffer(10 shots), and then around 2 shots a second after that.  It also will clear the buffer in about 4 to 5 seconds.  These write speeds are also great if you are shooting Full HD video around kids and sports and expect to get fluid crisp movements in your video. 

Also one very important feature of this card is its durabilty.  SanDisk claims the Memory Cards are waterproof tested to withstand up to 72 hours in salt or fresh water to a depth of 1 meter. They are also shock and vibration proof, and can withstand up to 500Gs of shock. Additionally, the cards are magnet proof and X-ray proof, so they won't be affected by an airport's X-ray machine.
I can personally comment on the waterproof feature!  I just recently missplaced one of my cards, and found it at the bottem of the washining meachine at the end of the 36 minute warm/cold cycle.  I then took the card, inserted it into the computer and all images were perfect with no damage at all.  I reformatted the card in the camera body and kept shoot like normal the next day!  Good enough test for me!

Check out the 8GB version and the 16GB version with great prices on them since they have come out.
